Bolivia has its own particular way to divide regions into telephone codes. More than one person has felt confused when it comes time to phone and ask for those codes. Here are some simple steps for reaching the person you intend.

Check that you have the correct number. It's possible that the number you have at hand is not correct. Phone numbers from Bolivia are composed of 7 numbers and the first digit must be a number between 2 and 8. Note that this is the local number without the region or country code.

Gather the information you'll use. The code for Bolivia is 591. You will have to dial 011 for international calls, then the region code (2, 3, or 4) according to the list and then the city code. For example, to call Cochabamba the number would be 011-591-4-4xxxxxx

Choose the number of your long-distance operator. If you are calling with a card or by automated operator services, you won't need this step. The long-distance operator number is a number of one or two digits that identify each of the long-distance telephone companies. Select the carrier of your choice and get their number.
